Please charge accordingly. Remember, a plumber gets $60/hour. I think that is more than fair for any quality work and experience such as yours.
And don't forget the old story about Picasso. A lady came up to him and asked for a sketch. He obliged, made a sketch, signed it, handed to her and asked for $50,000. She was aghast. It only took 2 minutes to make that drawing, how dare he, she said. Picasso replied, no, it took me a lifetime to make that drawing.
Don't underestimate your experience or skill.
